Appetizers

Want a new way to prepare summer greens? Throw some romaine on the grill. We know it sounds crazy, but trust: The outer leaves soften and char and the core remains crunchy, adding a new dimension to your salad game.

What’s even more impressive than a wheel of fine camembert? Homemade crackers to go along with it! Try your hand at making some out of walnuts, pecans, almonds, seeds, figs, and rosemary. They take just 25 minutes and add a special touch to any charcuterie board.

Not just a polarizing pizza topping—anchovies are actually the star of this savory tart. They’re elevated by salty kalamata olives and sweet caramelized onions in a sophisticated dish that uses almond flour crust for the base.

Breakfast and brunch

Here’s a recipe that turns the classic breakfast dish on its head. Waffled sweet potatoes are basically an upgraded version of hash browns. Top with avocado and a fried egg to make it even more enticing.

Sometimes all you want is a good fiber-rich muffin in the a.m., but it’s a lot harder to get when gluten is out of the question. Well, here’s an energizing alternative using a grain-free mix. Carrots, raisins, walnuts, and sunflower seeds provide nutrients and healthy fat.

What’s macerating? It simply means soaking fruit in liquid to draw out the juice, soften it, and create a flavorful sauce. In this case, honey, mint, ginger, and cardamom elevate strawberries to become an even more perfect parfait filling.

Want a genius idea for a tart shell? Make it with homemade granola using walnuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, and hemp seeds, then bake in a muffin pan. Fill the shells with yogurt and fruit for an adorable, bite-sized breakfast.

Ditch those instant oatmeal packets—they often harbor artificial flavors and additives. Instead, put together a GF version you can make on-the-go using all-natural ingredients like dates, cinnamon, cardamom, chia seeds, goji berries, maca, and coconut sugar.

The most chocolatey pancakes you’ll ever feast your eyes on. Dark chocolate and coconut sugar add richness and sweetness to earthy buckwheat flour. While you’re at it, go ahead and infuse some of that chocolate into the maple syrup, too.

Fish tacos with a kick! Garlic-chile sauce, sesame oil, and coconut aminos give the fillet some nice heat, while the mango-avocado salsa cools it down. So much depth for such a simple dish—and it only takes 25 minutes.

What goes well with tender braised short ribs? Mash! Go the low-carb route while keeping lots of fiber on your plate—we’re talking about cauliflower once again. Seriously, what can’t this vegetable do?

Want to learn how to cook up one of Asia’s most popular street foods? Fish balls may sound foreign, but they’re nothing more than chopped cod and shrimp seasoned with fish sauce, chile, ginger, green onion, cilantro, and lime zest. Serve in a miso broth full of gluten-free soba noodles.

If you’d rather go the more conventional route, turkey meatballs are a great option. Challenge yourself a little by using spaghetti squash as noodles. You won’t believe how similar they taste to real pasta.

Kid-friendly

No fillers here—just real chicken and the classic flavors of onion, garlic, and pepper. Coconut flour and ground flaxseed comprise the gluten-free batter and give these nuggets the crispiness kids love.

The best part of eating cereal is drinking the sweet, colorful milk left behind. Arielle Haspel has transferred that memorable taste into healthified doughnuts, made dairy-free thanks to almond flour and almond milk.

Gluten-free bread

Making a gluten-free focaccia is a lot easier than you might think! Coconut flour, apple cider vinegar, and baking powder work together to encourage the dough to rise without any wheat. Did we mention the garlic and rosemary smell and taste like heaven?
